Ukraine’s allegations that Iran is delivering drones to Russia are “irresponsible” and untrue, the Iranian Foreign Ministry has said. Tehran’s remarks came in response to accusations by an aide to Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, Mikhail Podoliak, who last week claimed that Tehran was “planning to boost missile, drone supplies for Russia.”

Moscow considers the blocking, seizure or retention of its state assets and reserves, as well as those of its citizens, to be illegal, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Thursday. He was responding to a question during a press briefing about a promise by the US to transfer frozen Russian funds to Ukraine.
